Inspired by my friend John Cowart who made a video called Christmas in a Tin Box , I made this video which could be called Christmas in a Cardboard Box with the help of a creche sent to me by my Texan friend Holly.
Jesus was born among the poor, the hungry, the disadvantaged and the unloved. He came to an ordinary family among ordinary people. He came as a Saviour- on a rescue mission to redeem and to liberate.
Prayer
God,which makes us glad with the yearly remembrance of the birth of thy only Son Jesus Christ; grant that as we gratefully receive for our Redeemer, so we may with sure confidence behold Him when He shall come to be our judge, who liveth and reigneth forever.
( Collect from the 1549 Prayer Book)
7 Fertilize my soul:
Many people believe in Jesus, who is only little child or suffering man on the cross. But our Lord is today King. This King knows poverty, hunger, pain. He is near for us.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Amrita. Christ came as a baby, but paid a high price for our salvation.
Such a lovely gift from your friend.
Hello Amrita,
Very inspiring story for Christmas. God sent many prophets to redeem mankind but all of them were killed and persecuted.Finally, God sent His only begotten Son to save mankind.He took a human form,born in this world like millions of poor children, was brought up by loving parents with meager means,grew up in Godly ways, preached the message of Kingdom of Heaven,worked miracles to convince unbelievers but in the end he was brutally tortured and crucified.
But unlike other prophets, Jesus built a strong net work of illiterate fishermen and others who preached Hia message and sacrificed their lives for the sake of Christ.Many,many,many devoted people followed them and sacrificed their lives. Even recently a nun was murdered in Jharkand,India because she worked among poor adivasis for improving their living conditions. She belonged to Vazhakala Parish close to my own parish.
Thus Jesus left of band of people to give up their lives and made sure that His message is not forgotten by the world with his terrible murder.
God's kingdom will slowly but surely prevail in this whole world in the end.
Wish you and your wonderful family a lovely Christmas season.
Joseph
